This last week I continued to read about Darcy and her version of how she and Marcus got together and her betrayal of her fiance Dex. It is really quite interesting reading from her point of view. Darcy and Rachel talk about the same situations, but neither knows what is really going on with their friend. Not very often do you get to hear a story from two different points of view.
I also read a book with my 7 year old son. He has been wanting me to read a book to him. Usually he has to read to me for his reading log. So Saturday I read a book to him about wolf pups. It was really a cool book actually because it was set in Alaska. We love reading books about Alaska. I tried to buy several before we moved and when I had my little guy last year my friends sent more as baby gifts. Usually when I read books to children I try to ask them questions about what I am reading, but I don't have to do that with my son. He is constantly asking questions. Sometimes I have to actually tell him to wait until I'm done because we will never get done with the book if I stop every time he asks something. But that's why I love reading to him. He is so curious and observant. A lot of the time he's not asking a question, but telling me something he noticed or some piece of information that he already knows. My goal is to read to him several times a week instead of only having him read to me. When we were at Disney World last month we went through the Swiss Family Tree House and he thought it so cool. I'm thinking about reading Swiss Family Robinson to him. I think he would really enjoy it because of the adventure.
Until next time...

I have had kids like that - the ones who can't wait to find out what happens next and ask questions constantly. I think that's the mark of an involved reader and a bright kid, plus a teacher/mom who chose a great book!
